I know that DNG are slightly smaller in size but what are the advantages and disadvantages converting to DNG from RAW. Also is there an option in lightroom 2 to import as DNG. Regards Steve

In the top right hand of my picture the sky was blown out, so thought i would use the adjustment brush with minus exposure, zoom in close and keep masking on and use a very small brush to get in between the chimmny pots, problem is when i need to drag the image accross i have to go out from the...

yes canon has cr2, but i think you do not understand this file is created at the import images stage and instead of me having one raw file with a jpg if selected in the camera (raw+jpg) i also have this xmp file, when you have made the changes in lightroom and exporting i understand that you get...

Hi all, ok I can get around lightroom much quicker these days, getting to grip with lightroom and getting some good results. Back to my problem, shoot with a ids mark 3 on to a compact flash card, i shoot in raw but as you know there is a small jpg embedded, but no change there, when i import...

Just recieved my camera back this week so decided to go out and take some shots, first thing how can i tell if it is performing like it should. The next thing is (I feel a bit daft asking this question) say you are looking through the viewfinder and you press the shutter button to compose and...

Look there is NOT legislation, law stopping you from setting up your tripod, the more you doubt yourself and others the more you play in to there hands, common sense is what you should apply, if you start holding up masses of traffic without allowing them to pass that is not fair, but if your...

Yeah not much help, thanks anyway. Steve

They quite simply called your bluff there is no law that can stop you so you should have ignored them, I would not have budged one inch, infact I would have stayed there for at least an hour or till i got really bored. Steve

I no it seems a good deal but do remember it is not the image stabilisation model, and at those distances In not so good light with a fast subject I would want a is model. Steve

I am struggling trying to save my images for lab print at a particular size. Here is a step by step to the system I use. I shoot with a !DS MK 3 (lucky me) and all my wokflow is done in lightroom 2.2 I save all images to an external hard drive to one folder called photos then to subfolder...

Just got my missing cf card this morning, i am a happ chappy steve

Well hopefully my missing 4gb card turns up but strange how the other 3 kingston cf cards arrive 6 packets in all and one not arrived. keep the old fingers crossed. One question about your answer, you say the sdhc are not as fast but does that not really boil down to the speed of the card, is...

just want to know either way if i keep them or not what the difference to compact flash is. IT may be just as good, it is much smaller and lighter in size and with the 1ds mk 3 you can use either or both. Regards Steve

I ordered some compact flash kingston ultra 266x , I aslo by mistake ordered some SDHC 120x but actually although they say it is this speed there is no where that it states this so a bit concerned as to the actual speed as the only place it states this is on the invoice, also one of my comapct...
